Automatic braking 'key to safer roads'
Discussion
"More than 700 deaths and serious injuries on UK roads could be prevented if all cars were fitted with the latest safety equipment, according to a new study.
Researchers analysed accidents going back a decade, and concluded that hundreds of thousands of crashes could be prevented if cars had 'autonomous emergency braking' where the car stops on its own."
Thoughts?

Oh no! Quick, we must scrap all existing cars without this life saving device!

2.5 It is evident that there has been a greater reduction in deaths during periods of economic downturn (figure 2.2). Although this relationship is not fully understood, the data show some clear patterns. Between 2007 and 2009, deaths in accidents involving goods vehicles fell by 39%, in part due to goods vehicles traffic falling by 5% but clearly other factors have been significant.
There was a reduction of around 250 deaths in collisions involving a young car driver (aged 17 – 24) over the same period. Together these groups account for around two-thirds of the overall reduction of more than 700 deaths seen in the last two years
